Pesticide Safety & Environmental Education
University of Minnesota Extension

A Category T license is only for the application of pesticide Plantskydd Soluble Powder Concentrate to trees for repelling deer. Someone licensed only in Category T may not apply any other pesticide (including other formulations of Plantskydd or other dried blood pesticides) and may not apply Plantskydd Soluble Powder Concentrate for any other purpose to customer or client land or sites as a 'service for hire.'

Minnesota requires commercial applicators to keep records of all pesticide applications and have an incident response plan:
